Incredible game in round 4 TCEC against Tucano

[Nico van Dijk]

Check out Leela's game in round 4 TCEC against Tucano. It was an amazing game in the French exchange where Leela as black played f6 and Kf7. Tucano had no idea what was happening for almost the entire game. Fantastic!

so, is 43. f5??  really a blunder by leela? Or is stockfish reading it wrong..

[Nico van Dijk]

I don't know, but to me leela often seems to choose moves that just maintain the advantage before committing maybe because she misses some tactic. And any AB engine is not really appropriate to judge Leela's moves I guess.

[Ron Langeveld]

I guess messy and bad from both sides of the boards nowadays counts as 'amazing'

Leela castles sometimes like a shogi player : shee chooses the most adapted cstle among a large choice.
